An evidence pack is not a PDF attachment

An evidence pack is a portable technical bundle that links claims to artifacts. In practice that means a report a human can review, a machine-readable JSON contract, an integrity manifest, and explicit references from documentation sections to those files.

What a useful evidence pack contains

For agent systems a useful pack usually contains risk signals, structured event logs, trace anchors, linked package outputs, and recurring monitoring context. The pack should also be portable enough to move between engineering, security, legal, and governance teams without losing meaning.

How to build one without inventing a second workflow

The strongest path is to use the same evaluation workflow for both technical review and documentation support. When the same runs feed both technical review and compliance references, the package stays honest. That is why the product story should remain runtime-linked rather than template-only.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What makes an EU AI Act evidence pack useful?

A useful evidence pack links written claims to current artifacts, real runs, retained records, versioned outputs, and owner decisions so a reviewer can trace why the package says what it says.

How does "What is an EU AI Act evidence pack and how do you build one" connect to the product?

The article explains the buyer and compliance context. The product pages then turn that context into a package path, templates, starter commands, and evidence handoff steps.

Does the article replace legal review?

No. The article is informational context. Legal and compliance teams still need to review the selected package, role, scope, article coverage, and final evidence sufficiency.
